| |
| − | <p>This part (BBa_K515107) has been characterised in a number of aspects to test its properties as a reporter. The tests describe this part in terms of thermostability, photostability and photoconversion.</p>

| |
| − | <p>This part has been used as a reporter for observation of bacterial uptake into the roots of the plants. Due to its photoconvertible properties, it allows to monitor the metabolic activity of the bacterial cell once uptaken into the root. Dendra was converted from 486nm excitation and 505nm emission wavelength, to 558nm excitation and 575nm emission wavelength using single photon stimulation. Conversion was achieved after exposure to 405nm wavelength using laser. Photoconversion was completed after about 15 rounds of bleaching at 50% laser intensity with the pinhole set to 3 airy units.</p>

On the right, graph representation of the photoconversion in the 3 marked areas. Intensity ROI 1 corresponds to area 1, Intensity ROI 2 corresponds to area 2 which is a single photoconverted cell, Intensity ROI 3 corresponds to area 3, which a single non-converted cell. The area which was focused on in ROI 3 is larger than in ROI 2 and therefore flourescence is much lower, this results from selection of backround area as well as the single cell. Three different emmision spectra were observed, Ch2: emission in green spectrum. Ch3: emission in red spectrum. ChD: brightfield emission.</i></p>

| − | <p><b>Intensity ROI 1</b></p>
| |
| − | <p>After exposure with 405nm wavelength, the cells in the region 1 are observed to decrease green spectra emission steadily over time period of 140 seconds. In the same timeframe the cells are observed to increase red spectra emission steadily, with the two emission spectra having the same flourescence at 20 seconds after the photoconversion. Brightfield emmision is kept at just over 100 units throughout the duration of observation of photoconversion. Brightfield is present for visualisation of the root and bacterial cells without flourescence.</p>

| + | The main goal of this characterization is to find out which pH value is the most effective among the 6 pH values in order to obtain a suitable culture condition for the expression of Dendar2.We further found that the part which expressed the protein Dendar2 worked well in E.coli strain DH10B, like in the DH5 alpha. |
| | + | |
| | + | Result and Findings |
| | + | |
| | + | 1.pH 4.5 is found to be the best pH that is suitable for the expression of Dendar2 . |
| | + | |
| | + | 2.Thered fluorescence from Dendar2 after photoconversion showed stronger fluorescent intensity than before. |
| | + | |
| | + | 3.Compared with the the expression pattern of Dendar2 as showed previously in DH5α, we concluded that the expression of Dendar2 works in both E.coli strains. |
